Dr. Contreras has a significant interest in caring for patients with asthma, newborn care, childhood obesity, and behavioral-mental health differences, especially ADHD. She has an 8-year boy with special needs diagnosed with Soto’s Syndrome. She knows how parents are often overwhelmed when they have a new baby with special needs. She says, “I have been there too; having special needs does not always mean limited and poor quality of life. However, their care will be filled with challenges to reach their full potential. I treat my patients just as they are my kids. I invite myself to be part of your family because we have become a team and are on their journey together. Raising and caring for a child is not a sprint; it is a marathon, and you can count on me to be running by your side”.
